Weekend Plans - Seeking Inspiration

Sooo, I don’t seem to have found
anything to blog about lately. I’m not exactly sure what happened but I suspect
it is a combination of too much work, too much heat and not enough time to find
some inspiration. This weekend, all that is going to change.

Tomorrow, I will not be working, the
temperature should be tolerable, and finally,
I’m going to Michael’s. I’m very excited!

As I’ve mentioned, I live in Toronto,
but for me Toronto is defined as any part of the city that is within a 15
minute walk of a subway station. If it isn’t located within a desirable
proximity to the subway it really doesn’t exist for me. Sure Michael’s
exists in Toronto but up until last week it was in those dead spaces not
reachable by subway so in my version of Toronto, it didn’t exist. Last weekend
all that changed when a Michael’s opened at Yonge and Sheppard, just a mere
three subway stops north. Yay!

Tomorrow I’m off with a friend to
check out Michaels and find my inspiration.

In other news…

I was talking to a friend last night
and she mentioned that she had come to realize that her new dining room table
was super long and an excellent work surface on which to spread out long pieces
of fabric, for sewing. I don’t know why
that didn’t dawn on my before now, but as soon as she mentioned it, I was
totally jealous.

I need to get rid of
all of our living room furniture to make room for a big, long dining room table.

A little about me...

I'm an avid knitter and professionally trained designer, based in Toronto, Canada. I draw on a wide variety of influences for inspiration in the design of colourwork mittens. At any given time, I'd rather be knitting. Find me on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JanetWelshKnits, or on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/designers/janet-welsh-knits.

A little about this blog...

This blog is a past project designed to showcase some of the things I was making, while learning the art of blogging. While no longer an active blog, I have left it up in case people want to explore some of my past thoughts and projects.
